This former municipally owned system, which serves approximately 5,000 water customer connections, has been operated and maintained by New Jersey American Water since 2016 through a contract between the company and South Orange Village. On Sept. 10, 2025, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities approved the municipal consent, allowing New Jersey American Water to provide water service to South Orange Village customers directly as of the closing of the transaction.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe agreement to purchase the system was approved in a voter referendum in November 2024, in which 62% of South Orange voters approved the sale of the system. This expansion underscores New Jersey American Water\u2019s ongoing commitment to delivering safe, clean, reliable and affordable water and wastewater services. By integrating the new system into its operations, the company aims to enhance service reliability, advance infrastructure investments and improve operational efficiency for customers and the community.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe completion of this acquisition reflects our continued commitment to delivering high-quality water service to the residents of South Orange,\u201d said Mark McDonough, President of New Jersey American Water. \u201cWith our longstanding familiarity with the system and a $50 million investment plan in place, we are well-positioned to modernize critical infrastructure, remove lead and galvanized service lines, enhance quality and increase reliability\u2014all while delivering excellent customer service to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAs part of the agreement, New Jersey American Water will invest $50 million in infrastructure improvements within the first 10 years of ownership while keeping rates affordable for customers. Anticipated improvements to the system \u2014 which is over 100 years old in some areas \u2014 include identifying and replacing all lead and galvanized steel service lines as well as upgrading aging water mains and fire hydrants. Additionally, New Jersey American Water will replace the Crest Drive Standpipe and rehabilitate the Newstead Watersphere. Further improvements will be identified through a comprehensive analysis of the system, which New Jersey American Water will conduct upon taking ownership.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cToday\u2019s closing represents the culmination of the thoughtful planning and collaboration between our Water Utility Task Force, Village Council, administrative staff, engaged residents, and independent financial consultants,\u201d said South Orange Village Mayor Sheena Collum. \u201cOur residents deserve a modern water system backed by the expertise and resources of a trusted utility, and together, we have determined this is the best path forward. With New Jersey American Water\u2019s proven track record and commitment to infrastructure investment, we are confident this partnership will deliver long-term benefits and peace of mind for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nResidents will receive additional information in the mail from New Jersey American Water in the coming weeks, and the information is also available now on a new, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amwater.com%2Fnjaw%2FCustomer-Service-Billing%2Fsouth-orange&amp;esheet=54335604&amp;newsitemid=20251007086298&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=dedicated+webpage&amp;index=1&amp;md5=fc9ca4a362d4b7432593d9bdc687290f\">dedicated webpage<\/a> on the company\u2019s website at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewjerseyamwater.com&amp;esheet=54335604&amp;newsitemid=20251007086298&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=newjerseyamwater.com&amp;index=2&amp;md5=1716a09963e3a83f026c9130a92a7229\">newjerseyamwater.com<\/a> under Customer Service and Billing.
